You guys are literally the reason why I wait before I buy stuff lol love the informative videos keep it up!

Same dude
You guys show up in my feed so much, I thought I was ALREADY a subscriber! Glad I checked cuz I wasn't and corrected that mistake. I'm almost 50 and have been modifying cars for half my life yet I STILL learn so much from watching your channel! Love your videos and love this channel; keep 'em coming! 👍🏼👍🏼
Literally just bought Tein coilovers along with a set of XXrs with tires from Fitment. Can't wait to post it! Great video!
part of the reason why the Flex line of coilovers are so affordable is in the damper itself. It's a sealed unit that was designed so that it can be almost completely manufactured by automated robots. They can produce more in less time using less parts vs a rebuildable unit. Since the cost of rebuild is often more expensive than buying a sealed unit, it makes a lot of sense for the people who don't do professional racing but still want good quality affordable coilovers.
I'm glad this video exists. I've been racking my brain over this decision, and while I have to wait a while longer to make this mod, I'm gonna go with Tein coilovers on my GE Fit Sport. While there are many who bash them and yes the old adage applies: you have to pay to play, I'm confident that buying their brand will be a good purchase for my car. Fact is, I don't drive my car that much(only 11K miles since I bought it 2 years ago) and probably won't run into all the issues that others have run into. I want new wheels and that means the car needs to be lowered too, so I'd rather buy something tried and tested and with a good reputation.
"Tein is just so easy to get a hold of..."
You might even say, they are easily obTEINable!
😂😂😅😅
I'll walk out now.
Good one 🤣
Except in real life they're not...
@@PeterKnagge I got mine in 3 days what u mean ?
Uuu so you're saying they're to obTEIN!?
I got tein flex z on my G35 rides really smooth and handles great. Definitely would recommend I love em!
Mine feels bumpy and I can feel bumps like crazy. Did I do something wrong?
Just bought mine for my g35
2 year update
@@stephenprice9635 Yup
i am looking for coil overs for my g35, idk what to get, it’s going to be my first set and is my daily drive so idk what to get, what do you recommend????
Many Subaru owners in my region love Tein coilovers.
from the decent sets to fully adjustable active suspensions.
if you use is track, they got one
drift, they got it too
off road / rallying they got that too.
before Magnaride came about
Tein already has a system called the EDFC or Electronic Dampering Force Controller and you can adjust your suspension settings on the fly in the car without taking out a wrench or spanner.
now the latest version can do active suspension settings for daily use or track use.
running the lowering springs on my Subaru Crosstrek
will switch over to their coilovers in the future
10/10 rating
Where can you get the Tein Edfc kit cause I have an 08 Civic with Tein Advanced Z Street coilovers so do they work with my car?
What I like about Tein is if you live in the US and called their customer service and unable to answer your question, they can actually transfer you to one of their in house engineers who works in their Downey office.
Got mine on the first day you guys had announced them. Been on them for a bout a month and man do I like em!
My man ❤️ what’d you throw them on?
Fitment Industries 08 Lexus IS. Dig the lowered look on that oem wheels. Kinda VIPish
Tein is affordable and a great product. Been using them for years.
Finaly a video with less than 500 jumpcuts and an useable audioquality :D thumbs up
Just bought a set for my Z32 . Couldn't be happier .
You guys are quick with the shipment. I received my tein in no time.
Really enjoying my Tein dampening adjustable coilovers on my CB7. By the way, it might be worth mentioning TEIN stands for TEchnical INnovation.
I miss my CB7
I run the Flex Z on my EG hatchback and I absolutely love them. They ride like a dream!!! About the add the EDFC Active Pro. Love Tein!!!
HELL yeah, that's awesome man! We'd love to see your ride in our gallery you should upload it sometime! bit.ly/2Ma4oca
A quality product and reasonable prices from a good company with great service = success. I hit the road all the time and just drive. When I get lost I gps my way back home. Love my TEIN coilovers.
Gotta love the durability and quality of those TEIN coilovers! You should upload your ride to our gallery we'd love to see it! bit.ly/2Ma4oca🙌
I have Tein cruising masters on my SC and they're fantastic
I got mine for $350 used from a guy that got a little over zealous on nitrous and blew his engine up still in good shape 😎 I daily my car and they are ideal for a comfortable ride with sharp handling
Shout out to the overzealous that part out for us to copp💯🤙🏽🤣
I run the Tein Flex Z with the aluminum pillow ball mounts on my 97 Honda Prelude. That with some Tanabe Front and Rear Sway bars with 225/45/16 make my car ride on rails. I love them, and am really glad I got them.
Sounds dope man you should upload your ride to our gallery we'd love to see it! bit.ly/2Ma4oca
Fitment Industries I made an account on the website and have been meaning to go ahead and take the required photos for the Gallery. I will definitely do that in the next few days. I also got the H23A with some equal length ramhorn headers to a full exhaust. I make myself laugh all the time when taking sharp corners because when you take 90 degree turns you can make the tires chirp by throwing the car into the corner.
Also, Thanks for the videos! I really enjoy getting an insider look at the current state of companies as well as their story.
Run tein flex on my Miata and absolutely love them... totally worth the $! Been on them for a little over 2 yrs now.
Sounds dope man glad you are enjoying your coilovers! You should upload your ride to our gallery we'd love to see it! bit.ly/2Ma4oca
I remember rebuilding my Tein coilover and every part was unique to their shock. The one thing I don't like about them. Is that they use a 2.75 sprig diameter and not the standard 2.5 so buying replacement springs means going through them.
heith85 swift springs
Good thing I watched this video, I know what coilover set I’m buying: Tein!! My hawkeye sti will be happy that I’m making the right choice
We have always called em “teen” tein. Been around forever . They only used to make expensive stuff for like vw and stuff . Glad to see their prices have come down for the budget friendly crowd .
Btw I keep getting kicked trying to upload to your gallery .
forever? try the 1980s. A cheap imitation of Bilstein at first. Ain't no use of the sound or suffix "-tein" anywhere in the Japanese language. Just like "Bridgestone" vs Firestone.
I think I found the Coilover brand I want to go with for my BMW E39! thanks
Thanks good info..gonna go get em right now
Here in Hawaii there are a ton of Japanese and I’ve been into imports since the 90’s I’ve always heard Tein pronounced exactly the way you said it.
I got the tein st z basis I love them they look great and feel great, and I had no clue about the background of them I just picked the in between price...oddly enough I needed them to raise my car because I had lowered springs and I’m very happy now I can slam it if I want or raise to get over speed bumps lol
Glad to hear you enjoy your coilovers! We would love to see your ride in our gallery you should upload it sometime! bit.ly/2Ma4oca
The biggest reason why I prefer Tein over any other suspension brand is because of their EDFC system that can either adjust the stiffness on-the-fly or allow you adjust the settings manually from inside the car.
I don't know if K&W has something similar but I'm Team Green all the way until then.
When I bought my 96 Civic with a blown engine (has a running H2B sleeved turbo setup now) for $200 I found out after I bought it that it came with Tein coilovers (the springs are the signature green colour instead of black though, not sure if that means anything) once I inspected my car thoroughly. I'm not sure the age of them but the ride quality is amazing for a simple coilover design! (Ride height set to near stock right now, still on steelies & hubcaps lol)
Love the ride quality on the Tein Coilovers man! 🙏🏼💯
Really solid product, even the basic stuff.
I got tein Street basis z, pretty good, springs are a little stiff but the handling is so good
Cheapest model
I’m installing Tein Advanced next week… much needed… will share my opinions 🤗🤗
Great video ! Just thought about the cheapest tein models using some existing factory parts off your cars suspension being the price point factor would have been valuable info .:) keep it up
Getting some for my 05'sentra ! Thanks fitment industries
Just installed my flex z coil overs a few days ago on my Brz. Should’ve been my first mod. Loving them so far
are they bumpy or stiff?
@@bryansantos31 they’re stiff but not too stiff. I turn the dampening all the way to the right and go left 6 clicks both sides
Tee in is how I say it, only because of dragon ball Z
Same
its "tayn".
Apples yo I say ‘Tine’
This is one of the only memories I remember Tien from DBZ. 😂 goo.gl/EHCggT
@@FitmentIndustries exactly.. I always say it as "Tee - ehn"
I just installed the Flex Z on my Evo X and I absolutely love them! Its like I have a brand new car! And they were under $1,000 which was the best part lol
Do you feel the road imperfections a lot , I have the street basis and considering upgrading to flex and want to know if the ride feels more comfortable cause the street basis you feel every bump
I was just looking at Tein coilovers for my rsx. This probably sealed the deal for me .
I got you playa, All you gotta do now is pull the trigger!😂----> bit.ly/2zzTSHQ
@@FitmentIndustries next week though , lol I get payed.
Jay ブロークン I’m looking at some for rsx becuase my struts are bad
I have tein advance Z on my Yaris and they're so good!
How much better?
Teins super street fully adjustable coilovers cost 1800.00 on my mr2. Yes worth it.
I run Tein Street Flex in my Miata and theyre super solid. A +1 for me
I have street basis and i have no complaints i might switch to koni ground control because i want something a little more track oriented
Sounds like a dope Miata! You should upload it to our gallery. bit.ly/2Ma4oca
Thanks for This Video. Very Good Very Informative.. Need More... On Tein... and ofcourse other brands. lol
whata great channel, keep it up
I hope I have Tein to get noticed before I get buried in the comments
HAH 👀😂
Fitment Industries please do a review on D2 coil overs
An informative video...thank you brother
I have only ran Tein on all my vehicles. Currently Tein z flex on my crz which is dailyed and sooo comfortable
Sounds dope man, We would love to see your CRZ on our gallery. You should upload it to our gallery sometime!👀 bit.ly/2Ma4oca
shoutout from vermont
awesome video!
fb6nocrustninja what country is that?
I have Tein superstreet EDFC. Best. Thing. Ever. I highly recommend. High price but very well worth it.
Tein IMO has a crazy soft ride kinda like riding on a cloud 😂 But we would love to see your ride on our gallery you should upload it sometime! bit.ly/2Ma4oca
I would definitely buy them if they offered it for the 8v Audi’s
still using their HA series on my cefiro........handle almost like lowered spring + stock absorber i used before.....impressive
Just got a set of Tein Flex Z on my 04 Subaru Forester XT. These ride so cushy, but can be adjusted as stiff as you can handle. Personally Im getting older and I like my kidneys. I love these Tein Flex Z’s. They were worth the $1100 usd.
lol sounds rough! Glad to hear you enjoy them tho!
Would really like more reviews on the Street Basis set which is the cheapest set you can get
I bought the super street coilovers for my mk1 Audi TT Quattro and the rear springs completely collapsed after a few years of use . Fronts have held up good as well as rear shocks replaced the rear springs with 600lbs h&r springs .
Sounds stressful man, well we would love to see your TT in our gallery sometime I have a link if you upload it! 😉bit.ly/2Ma4oca
Looking into it and gonna get some for my Camry daily driver. Just want to lower it a little bit without making it unbearably stiff or not ride smooth. Is this a good option for just that or should I go with something else?
I've already owned three sets of their coilovers. Not once did I have problems. I plan to purchase them in the future. However, I'm interested to hear about Ohlins Coilovers. From what everyone states, they're the best coilovers in the market.
ErwinSchrodinger64 for what car did you have them for ?
ErwinSchrodinger64 cause I’m looking for coilovers for my car but my brother says to get bcracing coils
Anthony Ramirez, I don't know too much about BC Coilovers. I have the Tein's on a 2017 Honda Accord. I have their Super Street-Z coilovers and the total price for the coilovers + some other parts I had to purchase cost about $1,000.00. Here is the reason why I purchased this specific set: there is little to no change in comfort. Plus, you can adjust the dampening (this has to do with the comfort). Overall, I'm dropped 2 inches, my ride is comfortable, close or exactly stock, but very sporty when I set the dampening to a sportier setting.
Ultimately Tein is a great company to go through for coil overs. The price point on them is amazing as well as the ride quality, We have a couple of guys who run Tein coils at our shop. It is like riding on a cloud man 10/10 def recommend. bit.ly/2zzV6Tq
We actually just put an application to become a dealer for Ohlins today! Stay tuned we might have more information on that brand soon!
Why don't we see any real world tests of the Tein EDFC (semi) Active Pro suspension? Hungry for an advanced suspension like that but don't see any info on it? Is the Active Pro module and servos upgrade only for a certain model Tein shock?
I always go full dyslexic when I pronounce Tein and pronounce it Tee-yen. That's literally the way I've always pronounced it. Even when I realized that wasn't right, I still did. I know I'm wrong...
More reason I love my Tein Street Advance
Everywhere im looking, i heard tein is the way to go. Gettin sum for my mt 04 tsx.
I love tein suspension. Once you ride on them with a front wheel drive you will fall in love with them..
This is good know! -Edgar
Word, looking at them for my Del Sol.
Fortune auto are pretty dam good too
I run tein coilovers in my fd rx7 and evo 6.5 tommi makinen, I'm more than happy with them.
I ran ohlins coilovers in one of my old cars, a wrx sti type-R ra coupe and for the expenditure on a street car in my opinion, it wasn't really worth the extra outlay.
You can't really go past Tein when considering cost vs reliability and the intended function.
Tein, in my opinion, has fantastic price points and the quality of the ride is amazing! 🙌
Keep on the works
TEIN I like it it good.
Can you guys do ISC Coilovers and more mid level coilovers company's since these are in most people's price range.
1 week after tein install: (3rd set of coilovers)
they ride very nice and im happy with my purchase though comparing to my old set (hsd) on a wrx it was alot more stiffer before,
the teins arent really that stiff but close... much more of a street coilover i wouldnt get this for a track setup. just an odd lap day.
no rear camber kinda sucks too given the price. hope they hold up better then my hsds (leaked after 3 years )
just ordered mine
Getting Tein Flex Z for my RX-8
Did you get them ?
Hey Would love to see you guys review Megan Racing Coilovers too. Give it some thought 🙃 thanks in Advance
Great video// I got teins lower Springs //never got the chance to get coilovers because didn't know what series to get //I got a 2007 Honda Accord V6 I'll order it just for the looks// but what series would I get if I decided to get it... help me out
Well the good news, Is the fact that we have a couple of different options for your ride! I have a link here for the kits we have available ---> bit.ly/2R58khM 🙌
Just bought a set 2weeks ago, just waiting for them to ship.
i have a lowered toyota alphard 2005 3.0ltr version , problem is vehicle tends to bottom out when riding rough road surfaces so would it be possible to fit Tein Flex Z coilovers with front strut top spacers reason for the spacers is the Flez Z are already 30.mm lowered
Plz do a vid on the eibach coilovers specifically
Eibach is on the list man stay tuned! 👀
I have a 2003 Lexus IS 300. Bought a set of Tein Z coilovers. They have two different part numbers. I understand this is for front and rear. But the problem I have, is the front struts I got for my car mounting bracket looks different than the one I see in the brochure. Mine, the front strut, has a single mount bracket and the one shown, in the pictured has a completely different mount. So I looked a the part number and the first four digits are correct but the last, four characters, aren't. Then the back ones aren't even listed in the web site. How do I find out if I have the correct struts? I put my info. into the type vehicle, year, model, and trim. The one that came up looks similar but the model number of the strut is different and I don't even see the rear. Not to mention UPS took forever to get them to me. So I had to go to their terminal to pick them up. The box looked like a bomb hit it. And when I opened it up. One of the mounting studs fell of, and I had no spanner wrench to adjust the struts. I did contact The Fulfilment Industries company, but they are closed on the weekends. Confused.
Sorry to hear this. Please email us at shop@fitmentindustries.com and we'd be happy to help make it right!
I like Tein. I've been running their Street Basis Z on my 2010 Honda Fit for about 6 months now and have little complaints. I can restore/improve my OEM ride quality for $444. That's a better price than getting lowering springs and aftermarket struts. What's not to like about that?
Sounds dope man you should upload your Z to our gallery we'd love to see it! bit.ly/2Ma4oca

Is it true if you opt for a lowering springs (ex Tein S Tech) in the long run your oem suspension will wear out rapidly? Compared to just getting a Tein Coilovers? (Ex Infiniti Q50S RWD)
Loved my Tein Flex back in 2004 but I don't feel the same about the KW which I've bee hearing have horrible customer support 🤷
I run Flex Z's on my IS300 n have been kicking myself since I got them. Got them bc of how much people have talked about how good Tein coilovers r over the years, n the fact they were about 200 dollars less than what I had planned on running (BC Racing or Fortune Auto). I had BC Racing coilovers with Swift springs previously n they were way better. Each click of the damper adjuster could b felt with the BCs, with the Flex Zs I can barely tell the difference from full soft to full stiff. Spring rates r kinda on the soft side for my liking as well, n its not as easy to upgrade to a stiffer spring with the Flex Zs. Idk if its just this line of coilover from them or what
Yeah, I have heard from a fair amount of our fans that the one thing they do not enjoy about Tein is that the spring rates are a little bit more on the soft side, But for the price you can't argue, Your Lexus sounds dope man you should upload it to our gallery! bit.ly/2Ma4oca
I was thinking of getting those for my IS as well, not trying to slam the car, about a finger & a half gap all around is my goal. On full stiff is it floaty on the highway at all? Even a little bit? Thanks in advance!
@@I2obbie12 ive got mine lowered to a lil less than what to ur looking for n on the highway it can get a lil floaty. I also run them near full stiff damper setting ~12 of 16, n its still floaty. I run sway bars, poly bushings n spherical bearings, n chassis bracing front to back, top n bottom, still doesnt make it as stiff as id like tbh. Im def switching back to BC Racing, highly recommended
@@FitmentIndustries the price savings was what made me go with them for sure, n figured theyd b close to on par with the bc's/fortune auto 500's, esp since teins site had em rated at closer to performance/light track duty than some of their other offerings in the price range
Smart Feller damn that makes me sad! :-( i figured the 10k/8k would be fine on the IS but I guess Ill save for the BCs… thanks again
Öhlins are unbeatable!
They never reply for 4 days.... Juz like my love life 😂😂😂
Are there suspension for subaru wrx wagons witch perform good in normal roads but you can still have fun on dirt roads whitout scraching your side skirts?
Please a JRZ or moton video!!
hey I have a 2004 wrx 2.0 I want to have an oe+ setup. I live in nyc where roads are crappy so I want comfortable ride but street performance for when I go on long rides out to nicer areas. I don't want to lower it to much I kind of want stock height. what would you reccomend
Do they come compressed already? Or do I have to take them to a shop to be assembled
I 'm running flex z with edfc on my s2000 for the last two months.. It's good and easy to set up every time.. but sometimes feel hard for the road... it's good for the track though but not as good as monosport and super racing..
Just bought street basis Z’s for my saab 9-3
Im thinking to get tein coilover for my car, but i live in canada someone tols me that coilover can blow up in super cold weather in winter. What do you think?
Blitz Please I’d worry more about our shitty roads tbh…
So how do I know which price point will improve my current ride quality. For instance I own a 15 sti, is the OEM suspension better than the cheapest coilovers tein produces?
Brandon Reid I really don't think so man. I think it's like a basic strut/coil. But it will lower that bad boy down good. But if you looking for performance you might want to pay that extra cash bro
60brianaguilar stick to oem or get bilstein kits for your car. Bilstein is what you have, and they are already very good quality.
Yeah, these guy's have a good point man if you are looking for performance save the cash and get a nice set of coils from maybe Bilstein or KW, But if you are looking to just improve ride quality I would maybe recommend a set of coils from Silvers! Otherwise, you can shoot us an email at wheels@fitmentindustries.com and we can see what all is available for your ride! bit.ly/2p2oJa5
hoping to buy some street teins for my sc soon
When you're ready man we got you! 🙌 bit.ly/2xG2njm

What's the best Tein coilover set for the 2015 Si coupe? It's my daily grinder..
Just got my tein
I hate how they dont make the basic z coilover for the evo x but have it for the 8 and 9
What’s the best company That’s great to buy wheel n tires that aren’t too cheap nor to expensive
Ebay
I thought that was Dampachi coming out of the Wheel Wall at 6:04
SURPRISE GUEST THIS EPISODE!
Can you make a video about VOGTLAND springs and dampers?
Interesting, We will have to take a look into that one! 🙌
